Hask Kalahari Melon Oil Hair Care

It’s a beautiful summer day and you’re about to head out on a weekend adventure. The cooler is packed with snacks, your beach bag is
stocked with essentials and you’ve slathered on the sunscreen but is your hair protected? Exposure to UV can fade color, cause dryness and
make your tresses look brittle and dull.

Hask’s new hair care collection utilizes the nurturing
benefits of Kalahari Melon found in the African desert. This adaptable fruit
thrives in the most hostile conditions and retains moisture in one of the
driest environments on the plant which makes it ideal for color-treated, dry or
damaged hair. The protective shield complex counteracts everyday washing
(which I don’t recommend) and heat styling to prevent dyes from fading. Although I don't color my hair, the UV blockers also help maintain natural color hydration, shine and vibrancy.

The products in the collection are free of sulfates,
phthalates, parabens, gluten and artificial colors making them safe for all
hair types. The replenishing shampoo smells amazing and is loaded with
nourishing cranberry, melon and sunflower oils to gently cleanse and rid the scalp
of dirt, oil and build-up. Because the formula does not contain harsh
detergents like most shampoos on the market, it won’t strip away too much
natural sebum or cause brittleness and irritation. (The shampoo retails for
$5.99).

The Color Protection Conditioner has many of the same
ingredients as the shampoo with a creamy consistency that efficiently coats each strand to soften, shine and detangle. Since I co-wash frequently (cleanse with
conditioner instead of shampoo) the lightweight texture is ideal for daily use
and helps maintain moisture, health and resiliency without weighing down my
hair or causing limpness. (The conditioner retails for $5.99).

Since my hair tends to be on the dry side, I use a deep
conditioner every week to boost moisture, prevent breakage and reduce the occurrence
of split-ends. The Hask Treatment Mask has the same UV shield to protect color
and prevent damage with a lush, ultra-nourishing formula that puts a little more bounce in my curls so they feel silky and revived. The instructions recommend that you leave it on for 10 mins
but since my hair craves intense hydration I usually cover with a plastic cap
for about an hour. The packet is great for vacation and contains enough
conditioner for 1-2 treatments (depending on hair length and thickness). It
retails for just $2.49.

With every Hask collection there is a great treatment
oil! The vial may look small but a little goes a long way and the lightweight,
non-greasy formula absorbs well to provide radiant sheen and suppleness. I use
it on freshly flat ironed hair as a finishing product to help smooth fly-aways
and dry spots while adding a healthy luster. In the summer I apply it on damp
hair to tame and form my curls. The oil retails for $2.49.
